After over 12 years online MakeTunes is closing down

I hope you've enjoyed the many years of community and creative process, but obviously the site has many issues these days as I haven't had any time to devote to the running of it for some time. Naturally most people have moved on as a result, and it is still costing thousands a year to keep it online.

Please take this opportunity to download any music you're wanting to keep as the site will be closing down on March 31st.

Prime Loops have released a new sample pack – Reggaeton Producer Grooves. Over the last few years Reggaeton music has seen a massive rise in popularity across the world, and it shows no signs of stopping with huge hits such as Daddy Yankee's 'Gasolina' and Pitbull's 'I know you want me'. Artist's such as LunyTunes, Noriega, Eliel, Don Omar, Alexis & Fido, Angel & Khriz, Nina Sky, Nicky Jam, Zion, RKM & Ken-Y, Voltio, Calle 13, Héctor "El Father", Wisin & Yandel, Tito "El Bambino" and many others have achieved huge success already, and with Reggaeton being a relatively new genre, there’s plenty of room for new artist’s to break through.
